PAUL WEST, GASSED HELPING WOUNDED, VANISHES IN PARIS Auther and Playwright, in France as Red Cross Worker, Leaves Strange Note. Paul West—Chateau-Thierry! Am Associated Press despatch trom Paris this morning tells only a frag- ment of the story, and the rest is in| New York. This is the news de- Bpateh: PARIS, Oct. 25.—Paul West, a New York writer who came to France as a Red Cross worker, has disappeared. His cap was found on a Paris bridge. With it were two cards. ‘One was addressed to Capt. R. T. Townsend, and the other was written in French: ‘When this is found I shall be dead.” ‘West's health has been bad and he was to have sailed for America this week. ‘The rest of the story !s told In let- ters.and cablegrams and other press, despatches that have come from France at intervals since the Ger- mans turned at “Chateau-Thierry. ‘These documents are pieced together at the New York home of Mrs. Paul ‘West and her daughter, Jane, in East both Street, “Father went with many other Red Cross men to the front lines at Cha- teau-Thierry,” Miss West said this morning. “He worlfed there through the crisis of the battle, and while he was with the wounded in a dugout he was gassed. A cablegram came to us telling of the gassing, but said there was nothing to worry about. “For a week he was in a hospital @t the front. Later it was possible to move him, and they sent him to Paris, where he was in another hos- pital for some time. We thought he had quite recovered, and he thought #0, too. His letters were cheerfil and he was planning to come home. We thought he had actually sailed, tor it was only two days ago that we ro- ceived a cablegram saying he was about to sail on the same ship bring- ing Gen. Thornton of the British Mission.” Neither Miss West nor her mother has yet accepted the belief that Capt, ‘West has really ended his life. They are awaiting Ue result of a special investigation now being ma panel cneatiacs LEAK TIES UP SUBWAY, Because of leaks in the Canal Street station, through service during the early morning hours on the Broadway ne of the B.

What is left of Collect Pond, which formed @ part of New York City's water supply more than a century ago, is believed responsible for the trouble, This water course ran from Centre Street to Canal. It made a marsh “of the foundation of the Municipal Bulld- ing and caused embarrassment to engl- neers who laid Gut the Centre Street subway loop.

Piano Music Complete in Next Sun- day World. Capt. F. M.’Guardabassi, oMctal rep- resentative of the Italian Bureau of Public Information in the United States, anvounces that the only official Italian national anthem is the ‘Royal March’* (Marcia Reale), not the "Garibaldi Hymn," despite the wide currency .of the latter, Capt. Guardabassi takes this step obedient to instructions re- ceived by him to make the “Royal March” better known in America, where at present it is played less fre- quently than the ‘Garibaldi Hymn,” ‘The Italian Government, he a. our public, is desirous of making i as popular as “The Banner," the ‘Marseillaise" Save the King," and hopes that it will be played in theatres, restaurants, hotels, &c., whenever the occasion war- rants.

Of this total, Miss Nerenstone, who is employed by the National Institute of Inventors, with offices in the Pulitzer Building,’ sold bonds amounting to $18,000 at the Palace Theatre last Satur- day, the last day, of the drive. she raised the remaining $1,250 by selling | bonds in various cabarets and in trains | of the Broadway subway. , om THE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1918,” WOMEN JAILERS REVEL IN FURY OF RUSSIAN TERRORS More Heartless Than Men, Say Travelers, Telling of Reign of Death and Cruelties, STOCKHOLM, Wednesday, .Oct, 23 (Associated Press),—Executions are the most merciful part of the red terror in Moscow and Petrograd, ac- cording to several neutral observers who have just arrived in Sweden, ‘These men have watched Bolshevik activities in the two great Russian cities many weeks. They had no per- sonal interests thvolved in the reign of slaughter and torture which is probably unparalleled in the world’s history, While thousands, Miss Nerenstone is the daughter of| more heartless than men. In Petrograd, Mme. Jakovieva has Roumanian parents and an excellent| type of patriot. FIFTH AVENUE AT 38™ STREET perhaps, havo been executed, the list of victims 1: far less appalling than the ruthless manner in which political prisonors have been sent to death without a semblance of legal trial, the heartiess- ness with which they were treated ond the utter indifference of Bolshe- vik officials to appeals of heartbroken relatives, Verified stories of ecenes at Mos- cow and Petrograd prisons eclipse descriptions of the barbarism of the middle ages and make the cruelty of the French Revolution seem almost humane. Women prison officials, and many of them are women, are even | been placed at the head of the Com- | mission for Suppression of Counter- | Revolution, and it is greatly to her jcredit that the terror has abated somewhat. She apparently hesitates to shoot and imprison with the same indifference that characterized the regimes of Moses Uritzky and Will- jam Shatoff, an American-traingd Anarchist, who held the post for a short time after Uritaky was assas- sinated lat@in August. But the women in subordinate poal- tions and in the prison’, many of them typical, short-haired, leather-jacketed women who are so numerous in the ranks of the Reds, are utterly devoid of humanity to men, women and even children charged with counter revolu- tionary activities. These prisoners are herded into various jails, frequently without any charge being made, and shuffled about from prison to prison in such a helter-skelter manner that no complete records are possible. An old Russian officer, whose name the correspondent cannot give for obvious Teasons, searched the jails in Moscow many weeks for his two sons, He was told repeatedly by women clerks who ran through the books indifferently that the lists were incomplete, Finally he applied to a woman who looked at her books con- temptuously, announcing brusquely, “both shot.” She then resumed drinking tea and smoking cigarettes. Distracted mothers, wives, sisters and daughters are turned away daily from various inquiry bureaus with- out any effort being made to relieve their anxiety. Women entrusted with the task of ejecting women and ch!l- dren from the better class apartments and houses and with taking clothing from formerly well-to-do families are barsber in their methods than their male associates. The persecution of families of om- cers supposed to be associated with the Czecho-Slovak movement is es pecially cruel.
